I still say it could have been avoided if CrowdStrike had tested the change on a single device prior to releasing it publicly. It could have been a simple automated test as part of their release pipeline.

Even a better rollout strategy could have prevented it from going too far.

What's funny is that CS is now saying that they have decided to start testing their releases with the use of "besides showing interest in working with Microsoft to work on the “kernel-level restrictions” development, is also taking a new approach to certify each new sensor release through the “Windows Hardware Quality Labs."

Whats also funny is that if you look at almost any open source software of similar caliber, they do all that stuff in their build and release pipelines or other work flows before public releases.

Exactly!

@IThomeboy80 Thanks, I have only used Scale Clusters which is the close I have tried so yeah.

@WLS-ITGuy If you wanted to say that old domain is part of usernames, and you want to change only that part of the usernames, there is no single SQL statement, but I see 2 solutions:

Write SQL script that will use LOOP to iterate through all records in table users and then replace username with new username....

Use spreadsheet calculator (Excel or similar) to prepare multiple simple SQL UPDATE statements:

Export table "users" (just necessary columns) and import it to Excel or similar _ - prepare new usernames in new column (use SUBSTITUTE() function in Excel) prepare simple UPDATE command for each username (in new column in Excel) - you can use functions like SUBSTITUTE or CONCATENTE to prepare you UPDATE statements with your usernames from previous column, i.e. =CONCATENATE("UPDATE users SET username = '", .... copy UPDATE statements from Excel and execute them

I think secong approach (Excel) is much safer because you see results in spreadsheet before you execute UPDATEs.
Always use WHERE clause when you use UPDATE

If you want more exact statements/formulas, give more detailed structure of your table and usernames

@gjacobse Most likely this is an SSH timeout. Might be on the client end. Is the timeout the same regardless of where you connect from? What if you connect via SSH instead of NX?

I've had to deal with the same sort of buildings before. The key will be to have a good site survey done ahead of time. If you end up needing an AP in every room, it's probably not worth it.

Just an educated guess here, but 2.4GHz will probably get halfway acceptable coverage without acceptable speed for the end users while 5GHz will likely not cover enough area to make it worth moving to entirely.

That looks like a real pain to have tracked down!

1.24 is out and addresses the issue.

@gjacobse

We had something similar recently, with Server 2022 and Bartender server.
The printer had to be installed under the AD Service Account that the Bartender app is installed under, on that app server.

Then the calls to our print server, where the printer is pointed to in the app itself, worked properly. Otherwise, there would be a 3 min timeout before even the labels from the app would print.

So try to install it locally under the account that the SAP app was installed under.

Try to reset the printer, and the web server via the printers web gui if possible also.

Our issue was with the older Xi4's not the newer ZD621.
Our print server is Win Server 2022 Core.

@scottalanmiller oh I don't doubt there's a real person behind the account, but I don't think it has a single time engaged with the community other than to throw around marketing posts. Super duper spammy. I can't stand visiting the site without being logged in, having to navigate around all the spam from that account. If I want to browse StarWind Blog posts, I'll just visit their site.

@CCWTech said in Proxmox 8.2 is out:

@IThomeboy80 You are welcome. I keep falling more and more in love with Proxmox every day. It's just a great product!

I feel the same way.

Looking forward to the possibility of doing some migrations off of ESXi.

@CCWTech said in Clean a Linux or UNIX Text File to Strip Hidden Characters:

@scottalanmiller Great, but can you explain the syntax of the command?

trim anything accept characters 11, 12, or 40-176. The acceptable character ranges.

@Grey said in Windows/vmware server licensing:

@travisdh1 Does that imply that each guest needs a minimum number of cores assigned?

No, you just need to cover the cores on the host.

@IRJ Yeah I've tried openVAS in the past, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great.

I've ended up making some changes to my firewall and using Wazuh to report on my endpoints that are remote to our datacenter.

Which works well enough for our needs

@travisdh1 Thanks Travis. I was thinking about this last night.

I agree, I'd be better off running up a new instance of W11, installing hyper-V and running a Ubuntu VM as well as my W11 workstation so I can switch between the two.

I've played with Proxmox before, It's a good and easy product to use.

Thanks again.
